How can i compare and contrast hereditary and elective monarchies?

Question

This needs to be answer ASAP

its medieval history

Under a hereditary monarchy, all the monarchs come from the same family, and the crown is passed down from one member to another member of the family. The hereditary system has the advantages of stability, continuity and predictability, as well as the internal stabilizing factors of family affection and loyalty.

An elective monarchy is a monarchy whose reigning king or queen is elected in some form


PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

most of the elected monarchs are no longer used. an example would be the early Roman emperors, who theoretically were elected by the senate for life. in practice though most emperors found a way to name his successor. the other major example of an elected monarchy were the doge's of Venice and Genoa. the election of a Venetian doge was a long complicated process (go to wikipedia.org and look up Venetian Doge). a few other nations such as in Africa also elected monarchs. These monarchs were usually elected for life (Genoa doges for a term) and had absolute power. hereditary monarchs like you said just inherit the title from some relative. as previously noted not necessarily a parent.

Answer 2

It does not matter how you pass the genes from father to son, but it does matter how the crown is passed from one monarch to another. If monarchy is dependent upon genetics, all monarchies would no longer exist. For example, the last British monarch to be coronated without being the child of the benefactor was Queen Victoria. SHE SUCCEEDED HER UNCLE, REMEMBER?! My wife is Paris of Antarctica because her father is Prince of Antarctica, which in turn was because her paternal grandfather served as Regiment, which in my country is the same as the emperor, and this is a cultural theocracy we are speaking of. The rulership of my country is the same as the Vatican papalcy, so there you have royal complexity. I happen to be Prince of Antarctica (by marriage) and thus possessing a broad knowledge of royalty and politics. Gosh! what happened to the United States?

Answer 3

The Americans already have an elective monarchy which they think is a republic. The other thing about the Americans, and everyone else, is that they and we also have The King, Elvis, who apparently lives on somewhere forever. UK has an elective dictatorship, if that's any good? Gordon Brown for teaboy.

Answer 4

A monarch is a head of State. Surely an elected head of State is a President. How can you elect a King, when (by definition) a King is appointed by God
